Anyone else like me? Do you enjoy experimental cooking more then making the same thing over and over again?
Definitely not a pro. But I own the same cookbook and the NY Times Cookbook (probably 1970something edition).

But I love playing with food and I've made some awesome renditions of other dishes, guessing from other dishes I've had or creating flavors that sound like they might work. Of course, there have been some failures, too.

The only time I will print out or use a recipe is for baking. I've tried eyeballing quantities but it hasn't worked for me.
